Corporate Bonds (SGD)
Tier 2Low Risk Income
Investment-grade corporate bonds denominated in SGD. Higher yield than government bonds with moderate credit risk.
We track yield-to-maturity (YTM) for SGD-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds listed on SGX. The figure shown is the median YTM across available issues with 1-10 year tenors. Individual bond yields vary based on issuer credit quality, tenor, and market conditions.
Plain-English Guide
Corporate bonds are loans you make to companies. Singapore companies like CapitaLand, Frasers, Mapletree, and banks issue bonds that pay regular interest (coupons) and return your principal at maturity.
You buy bonds on the SGX secondary market or during new issuance. You receive coupon payments (typically semi-annually) and get your principal back when the bond matures. SGD bonds have no currency risk.
If the company goes bankrupt, you could lose your investment (credit risk). Bond prices also fluctuate with interest rates — if you sell before maturity, you may get more or less than you paid. Investment-grade bonds are generally safe but not government-guaranteed.
Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) = annualised return accounting for coupon payments, time to maturity, and the difference between purchase price and par value. Higher YTM compensates for higher credit risk.
